[Verse 1]
F G Am
I took a wrong turn out of the bar that night into an empty part of town
F G Am
I wandered lost through the concrete wastes as the rain came pouring down
F Em
I’m entertained by my own stupidity, black upon black
F Em
I like to stumble round in darkness just to find my way back
[Chorus]
Dm G F
I have to see if I am still me
Dm G F
I just have to see if I am still me

That the wreckage of my body will obey my will is still worth a bet

Yeah I know I’m playing a game I’m bound to lose but I’m not beaten yet
F Em
I push every stringy sinew much harder than I should
F Em
I try to balance everything but my balance is no good

Am Em C
So I’m here again
Am Em C
With the smile of a Cain
Am Em C
Just to rattle at my chains
Am Em C
I can take all of the blame
Am Em C
Give me, give me all the blame
Am Em C
(no lyrics)
[Verse 3]
F G Am
The conventions that we’re meant to live by make no sense to me
F G Am
If they could see inside our thoughts, they would lock us up and throw away the key
F Em
I’m done with asking for forgiveness I never have deserved
F Em
It’s time to call the time upon the time that I have served
[Chorus]
Dm G F
I have to see if I am still me
Dm G F
Yeah I just have to see if I am still me
[Outro]
